King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh is set to resume operations on 25 October 2026, welcoming back both domestic and international travellers through its terminals.
Under the new arrangement, Terminal 1 will handle domestic flights, while Terminal 2 will serve international flights operated by Saudi national carriers. Passengers are advised to confirm their terminal before heading to the airport.
Travellers who already hold confirmed bookings should contact their airline directly to verify the status of their flight and the correct terminal. This step will help avoid confusion on travel day and ensure passengers arrive at the right location.
The resumption carries no additional airport fee or special passenger charge. There are also no new requirements related to visas, entry, exit, or document validity tied to the reopening, meaning standard travel procedures continue to apply.
For residents and visitors across the Riyadh region, the return of full airport operations marks a welcome step for travel planning. Keeping flight details updated through the operating airline remains the best way to stay informed ahead of the travel date.
